Of course this is a short list of things that you should do when you are feeling out this new way of life, but no matter how long the list is, there are two main factors that critical thinking can be broken into.
1.Curiosity
2.Open mindedness
Curiosity
No matter how old you are, or what you accomplish in your life, never lose your curiosity. It kind of goes along with the idea of questioning things. You need to always wonder how things work.
Don’t just accept that things are the way they are, figure out why. You might wonder how your stove works, or how your car works, or how your particular job affects society in general.
Grow, and keep growing. You only have one life to live, and you are trying to get the most out of it, so learn how things work. If you don’t know, look it up. If you do know, analyze.
Open mindedness

Just like with the cow in the herd, you can turn away early on, or you can wait until you are getting closer to that cliff, but the sooner you make the change, the better.

There are tons of people out there that don’t care what happens on this planet. They go through their lives day in and day out being spoon fed whatever it is society wants to tell them, with little thought of ever doing anything better, or anything at all, for that matter.
Then there are those that aren’t happy just going with the flow. They know that there is something better in life, and that they have the ability to get it, they just don’t know how.
It is to these people that this book is directed. We are going to explore what it takes to absorb information, and show you ways that you can then apply what you learn

In order to solve your problems, you are going to have to think about them in a critical manner. Pick those problems apart. Look for solutions. Look for ways you can use aspects of the problem to your own advantage.
Think about the problem personally, and independently. Advice from others is great, but at the end of the day, it is still your problem, and you are the one that is left to deal with it while it is there and ultimately solve it.

As we have said before, there is nothing at all wrong with sharing an opinion with another person, or even a group of people, but we don’t want you to just go with the flow, or just believe something because that is what everyone else is doing.

2.Be a skeptic
Don’t be afraid to question. In fact, you should question. Question everything. We cannot emphasize enough how important it is for you to question. Ask why about everything.
Don’t ever blindly accept anything. Question your religion, your job, your everything. No matter what the subject is, decide how it is right for you, or if it is right for you, and if it isn’t, don’t sweat it.
